Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MB7460-121 qualifies as a direct substitute for the MB7460-120 based on the following matching parameters:

• Identical manufacturer (MaxBotix Inc.)
• Same series designation (4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR)
• Matching frequency specification (42kHz)
• Identical voltage rating (10V ~ 32V)
• Identical beam angle (11°)
• Identical operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C)
• Identical component type (Transmitter, Receiver)
• Identical RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)
• Same base product number (MB7460)

The primary distinction is product status: MB7460-120 is obsolete while MB7460-121 is active, with packaging specified as bulk for the substitute part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MB7460-121 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete MB7460-120. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The MB7460-121 carries active product status from MaxBotix Inc., ensuring ongoing availability and support. Both components meet ROHS3 compliance requirements and share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8543.70.4500) classifications, supporting regulatory consistency in system designs.

For applications currently using the MB7460-120, transition to the MB7460-121 presents no functional or compliance barriers. The bulk packaging of the MB7460-121 accommodates both production and replacement scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MB7460-121 directly replace the MB7460-120 in existing designs?

A: Yes. All electrical parameters (frequency, voltage rating, operating temperature) and mechanical specifications (beam angle, type) are identical between the two parts. No circuit modifications or recalibration are required.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from MB7460-120 to MB7460-121?

A: The MB7460-120 is classified as obsolete. The MB7460-121 is the active equivalent from MaxBotix Inc., ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: Does packaging affect substitution compatibility?

A: Packaging format (bulk for MB7460-121 versus the unspecified format for MB7460-120) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection depends on procurement and inventory management requirements.

Q: What parameters define substitution eligibility for this ultrasonic sensor?

A: Substitution is determined by matching frequency (42kHz), voltage rating (10V ~ 32V), beam angle (11°), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C), component type (Transmitter, Receiver), and manufacturer series (4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR).
